There is more to the theatre than our stage
The name says it all.
We are Birr Theatre AND Arts Centre. The second part of our name means that we support a range of visual art media in our exhibition space and that we deliver regular Arts projects aimed at the local community.
We are always on the look-out for innovative, distinctive and inspiring work to share with our local patrons. Should you wish to exhibit in the theatre check out our open call document.
